WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

In this document you will find warnings and cautions for installation, use and maintenance of the pumps.
Here's the meaning of symbols you may find in this document and general warnings that you should keep in mind.
WARNING: This symbol aware that there is a danger of serious bodily injury or death if you ignore the warning described.
CAUTION: This symbol aware that there is a danger of personal injury or property damage if you ignore the caution described.
WARNING: CAREFULLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS BEFORE OPERATING THE EQUIPMENT!
• This equipment is for professional use only.
• Do not degrade the integrity of the equipment. Use only original
replacement components from Samoa Industrial, S.A.
• Fluids not suitable for the pump can cause damage to the pump unit and
involve risk of serious personal injury. Always consult Samoa Industrial, S.A.
if you have any questions about the compatibility within the fluids and the
pump materials, including elastomers.
• Install and use the pump according to all local and national regulations and
abide all health and safety laws or legislation.
• The pump can produce fluid pressures equal to the air supply pressure. Do
not exceed the maximum allowable pressure of 115 psi (8 bar) air supply.
The total hydraulic pressure (differential pressure + system) should never
exceed 115 psi (8 bar).
• Never use a pump that leaks, that is damaged, that is corroded or otherwise
it may lack the capacity to contain the fluid.
• Frequently check that the bolts on the diaphragm cover of the pump are
torqued correctly.
DESCRIPTION
Air operated double diaphragm pumps are air-powered, reciprocating positive
displacement pumps with two pumping chambers. Two diaphragms, centrally
located in the chambers, separate the compressed air (dry side) from the fluid
being pumped (wet side). A shaft transmits the reciprocating motion of one
diaphragm to the other. A directional valve alternatively distributes the air
from one chamber to the other; thus a reciprocating movement of the
diaphragms is created. With each stroke, fluid is discharged by one of the
diaphragms whilst the opposite diaphragm sucks new fluid into the expanding
chamber. Check valves, two on the discharge side and two on the suction
side, control and direct the fluid flow.
INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

• Remove the pump from its package and install it on the chosen location.
• Try to minimize the suction head. Install the pump as close as possible to
the fluid being pumped.
• Remember to have enough space around the pump to perform maintenance
tasks.
• Keep in mind to connect the inlet and outlet of the pump correctly.
• In case of diaphragm pump failure, the air exhaust will expel the product
being pumped.
• When the pump is installed in a place where a spill of fluid can cause an
environmental impact, the exhaust should be directed to a place.where this
spill could be contained.
• When installing the pump in its place, use brackets to secure its base.
• Fasten all bolts with the torques contained in this manual.

• Do not use a model with aluminium wetted surfaces to pump fluids for
human consumption, there is a possibility of trace contamination of lead.
• Danger of explosion if used 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride or
other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents with aluminium wetted materials.
It could cause serious injury and property damage.
• Inside the pump, diaphragms separate the fluid that is being pumped from
the air supply. If a diaphragm breaks, the fluid can leak out of the air
exhaust and contaminate the environment.
• When handling hazardous fluids, always route the air exhaust into a suitable
container and locate it in a safe place. (Optional conection system at
customer's request. Not supplied with the unit).
• When the fluid source level is situated higher than the pump, (flooded suction),
the outlet tank must be at a higher level than the product to prevent spills.
• For pumps handling hazardous fluids that are a danger to humans or to the
environment, install a suitable container surrounding the pump to prevent
any leaks or spills.
• Ensure that the operators of this equipment are trained on the operation and
limitations. Use safety equipment as safety goggles or other equipment required.

DP PUMPS ARE VERY EASILY CONFIGURED AND EASY TO INSTALL
FLOODED:
The pumping system was designed with positive pressure at the inlet. This is
the best possible installation when you need to evacuate the liquid from the
drum or tank, or when working with viscous fluids.
Not recommended for hazardous fluids.
SELF-PRIMING:
Pump is designed to generate vacuum. It is possible to evacuate all the air
from a hose or pipe without damaging the pump. Maximum suction height
is (6 m) 19.69 ft, with the suction hose empty and up to 8 m (26.25 ft) with
the hose primed (see page 6).
SUBMERGED:
All pumps can be immersed in fluids. It is important to verify that all
components that are in contact with the fluid are chemically compatible. In
this case, air exhaust and fluid must be carried by hoses (optional air
connection).
NOTE: Use a pressure regulator with built-in filter inlet.
NOTE: The compressed air supply must be between 43.5 psi (3 bar) and 115 psi (8 bar).
